Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Henry White

Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Henry White

President Roosevelt requests asks Ambassador White to provide context to the foreign office regarding William Howe Tolman’s request. Roosevelt believes that his newfound association with The Outlook is part of the reason that Tolman wants William Bailey Howland to be conferred the Legion of Honor. However, Roosevelt believes this request is wholly inappropriate and objects to the conferment on the grounds that it will hinder his ability to publish anything about France.

Letter from Harry White to Theodore Roosevelt

Letter from Harry White to Theodore Roosevelt

France’s Foreign Office has asked Ambassador White whether decorating William Bailey Howland with the Legion of Honor would be well received by the American people. As Howland is the publisher of The Outlook and has recently secured President Roosevelt to write for it, White wonders whether this association would influence the magazine’s future coverage of France. White believes that “the American people would not care in the least one way or the other,” but will act in accordance with Roosevelt’s views on the matter.
